HUDDERSFIELD historian Prof John Shepherd will host a public lecture tomorrow, entitled Crisis? What Crisis?

He is working on a book about the infamous “Winter of Discontent” of 1978/79.

The event takes place at the University’s George Buckley Lecture Theatre at 6pm and Prof Shepherd – a leading historian of the Labour Party and the Labour movement – will provide his reassessment of the events that would spell the end of Jim Callaghan’s Government and see Margaret Thatcher sweep to power.

The lecture is free and open to all.
